The window suppliers have confirmed that the windows and the window fitters will be on site on Tuesday. It will be great to take off the taurpalins that flap very loudly but have been stopping the worst of the weather for the last six months.

With lots of help from my college friend Petra we have moved all the spare wood from the dining room area. So for the first time today I have been able to walk around the whole kitchen and diner. This work was in preparation for erecting the scaffold tower so we could fit the insulation into the roof in the main double height void area but it came clear quite quickly that the tower I borrowed couldn’t be assembled to the height required without hitting the sloping roof, I am going to have to rethink this to find a solution to this one. Instead we moved our attention to the same job but up on the gallery where access isn’t an issue. We managed to get one of the sloping roof sections insulated and boarded over, the next ones should be quicker as I know how to do it.
